The Telugu film ALA VAIKUNTHAPURRAMULOO has created history in the South by hitting the 200 crore nett mark. The film is the sixth highest NETT grosser from the South but its the first film to hit the 200 crore nett from the South without a Hindi version. The five films above ALA VAIKUNTHAPURRAMULOO are all films released in multiple languages and some of the most costliest films ever made in India at time of release.
